Library Spot: a wealth of information. Look up quotes, double-check grammar and usage, or find calculators.

Sites Everyone Asks About

Switchboard : Yes - the white pages are on the World Wide Web! If a phone number is published in the white pages, it can be found in Switchboard. Business can also be found. One caveat - listings appear exactly as they do in the phone book; Barbara Smith may be listed as "B Smith", and cannot be found under "Barbara".

Mapquest: This site shows routes, distances, locations of addresses, attractions, airports, restaurants - almost everything you need to know about any city, region, state, or address. Play with it a bit to master the techniques. They have been improving this site continually, so don't be surprised if it looks a little different from time to time.

Reference Help - Libraries, research tools, and more

Research It: From atlases to zip codes, this research tool has it all!

Study Guide Zone: a series of free study guides on a variety of standardized tests commonly utilized for admissions, licensing, and educational assessment. In many cases, disadvantaged students do not have the resources to prepare for these tests

Good Reading

Georgia Center for the Book :The Georgia Center for the Book is a statewide program which celebrates books, reading, literacy, book arts, publishing and Georgia's literary tradition

Access Atlanta : A fun site from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that has links to both serious and not-so-serious sites. Tune in here to find the speed traps in Georgia (if you haven't found them already :) ) as well to see listings on the Botanical Gardens and State Parks.

GeorgiaInfo: The Carl Vinson Institute of Government is pleased to offer GeorgiaInfo, an extensive Web online resource about Georgia. Its development was motivated by the conviction that such information, which can now be readily accessed by Georgians in every county, could help citizens and public officials of the state become better informed in order to identify new resources and make decisions to improve the quality of life in their communities.

Georgia On My Mind: Another Georgia On My Mind website! This one offers links to pages with all sorts of Georgia information, the state bird, song, biographies, climate, current events, Department of Motor Vehicles, flag, flowers, cities, motto, museums, and more.

The most frequently asked question we have heard regarding the Internet is "What is the right way?" or "Which is the right search engine?". Truth be told, there is no "right" way or "right" search engine. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.

The one rule to adhere to is never use just one way!!! Do not assume that just because you cannot find something in Yahoo that it doesn't exist on the Internet. Use other people's links! Lots of times someone else has the information you seek, but the search engines don't. Try the obscure. You'll be surprised at what you'll find!
